Key Notes for Tomorrow’s Game

• Wide receiver Brandon Lloyd is out with a knee injury. This is a big blow for the Bears offense as Lloyd has showed he is the only big play threat at wide receiver.
• Defensive tackle Tommie Harris is suspended for tomorrow’s game for violating an unspecified team rule. Harris is allowed to return to practice on Tuesday. Head Coach Lovie Smith said little about why Harris was suspended. Insiders have said that Harris has been late to team meetings and has had a lot of personal issues recently, including fathering a son out of wedlock. Fortunately for the Bears they have depth on the d-line in Israel Idonije so Harris’ loss is not as important as Lloyd’s.
• Starting cornerbacks Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman are expected to start tomorrow’s game even though both missed practice time this week with injuries. If both are not 100% it could be a long day for the Bears secondary, as the Lions possess a potent 1-2 punch at receiver with Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams.
